There are no words that truly capture what our family is going through right now, but we are asking for your help during one of the most heartbreaking times of our lives.

Our dad, Ysrael, is 67 years old and is courageously fighting two types of cancer: one in his blood and one in his bone marrow. He has always been our protector, our steady place, and the person we could count on for anything. Watching someone so strong, so full of life, go through this has been unbelievably painful.

Ysrael is a father to six children, and being our dad has always been his greatest pride. He gave us everything he had...his love, his time, his strength..and never asked for anything in return. He is the kind of man who shows up, who sacrifices, who loves deeply and unconditionally.

Five years ago, he lost the love of his life (our mom) to cancer. That loss changed him forever, yet he continued to be strong for us, to carry our family through the grief even while quietly carrying his own. Now, facing this battle after everything he’s already endured feels unbearably unfair.

As we come to terms with what lies ahead, we are preparing for the inevitable and asking for help to give Ysrael the farewell he deserves. We want to honor him in a way that reflects the incredible man he is, but the financial burden is something we cannot carry alone.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to our family. And if you’re unable to give, sharing this would help us more than you know.

Please keep Ysrael in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for standing with us, loving us, and helping us honor a man who means everything to us.
